It's simple and works really well. I'm "VERY" dyslexic and when I use Dyslexia Reader chrome with the Dark Mode Web extension I can read with much less effort and comfortably for long periods. Which is liberating as I can immerse my self in deep learning instead of bouncing around the first paragraphs of tutorials in an endless search for someone who just cuts straight to the chase.

This is really helpful for websites. :) We ran it on slack and it changes the fonts fine. Did have to turn off the background and foreground colour changers, as they caused screen to blink a lot and patches to go completely dark. Recommended to configure with a font that you like (which is a super personal choice). <3

God awfull All it does is change teh font to a super skinny one that is large making it harder to read, it sucks.
